THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
We discover more about members of Shichisei and their power. That "girl" (Rena I think) has the power to transfer and control other beings, shikabane or not (like when Ouri stabbed Keisei back in Aka). His/her desire is to become a more beautiful existence through body swapping (it was hinted in past episodes that she may be a "he" in reality, with that girl's body borrowed) Then, there is the ballon guy, who can absorb people's energy and happiness with his balloons...His desire is to become happier and happier through the death of others.

humans with inner desires unleashed = no longer human?

Ouri thinks he can control Makina with curse power? Maybe that's possible now. He no longer looks as useless as before....He actually did some decent stuff in this episode...

Funny that Makina fangirl appeared again. Will she finally turn into a shikabane?
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Pretty good episode and we don't have to see Makina suffering from saying "Keisei" anymore, thx god.

LOL@Takamasa saying "Yeah, you were beautiful, Itsuki" , I am not sure if he was happy or sad by saying that, lol.

Excellent episode, the atmosphere is becoming even darker and there is now a very good and steady plot development. On top of that, I kinda like the ideology of "To live is to hide your true desires." and duality between corpses and humans, it's well-explained and I can somewhat empathize to that. I mean, it's a simple but true representation of modern society, isn't it? It's also a good thing that Makina has gotten over her depression and Ouri is trying to evolve as a man (I really wait for the explanations about his past now).

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

It's nice to see that Ouri did something useful.

This was a pretty bad episode for me. I dislike the unintelligent use of the word nature, but I'm not sure if that's a translation or a writing issue. Makina is a completly different character her in Kuro, and I feel like she's been on a constant regression since the first episode. Animation was jittery, and it seems like everything is going as I thought it would at the beginning of the season. Quite unspectacular.

This series started failing after keisei died. I was realy hoping to see that Keisei had become a shikabane somehow. Cuz, he's pretty mutch the only reason i can stand Ouri...
But again Shikabane hime has been painfully preditible as in that keisei wont come back...

Well call me a happy girl because my Makina x Keisei pairing has finally come true ^_^ It took a while, but Makina finally admitted she loved Keisei. Geez, I've been waiting since episode 1 of the first season.

I really like Ena. Or rather I like to hate him. He's a regular sleazeball, using Keisei's image to mess with Oori and Makina. He better get what's coming to him next episode.

well the girl only reason has been brought up. though its still bs. Noone learned had to make guys one. wow this dude is dumb. He blew his cover even more saying I love you to makina when he never showed "that" type of love to her. It was more like a sisterly love thing. wow makina is a freaking idiot even ouri is able to kill what essentially is his big brother for gods sake get over it makina. Its weird to see ouri actually more level headed and mature then makina.

She finally admitted that she loved Keisei... hope she can move forward (of course not forget about him like MC told her) she needs to realize that she can’t fight with him anymore... but use his bond to strengthen her spiritually and make her more powerful against their enemies...

Yeah, you would think that she will use the man that he loved death as a fuel to make her stronger but on the contrary... she by not understanding that you can move on (I understand that is hard to let go) without forgetting the memories of a loved one specially when MC tried his best to be his confidant (she is not alone) got me scratching my head more times that I could count. *Sigh*

I mean he's got a point, why does grief, memories, love for those that have to passed have to be a cursed? Isn't that how you are supposed to treat the dead? It should be a power!
I laughed so damn much at the multiple clones of Keisei, both times they showed it hahaha.
While I agree the one in charge of master is likely anti-hime trash, I don't think master himself is as we've repeatedly seen. He always seems to kind of act on orders/expectations in his own way.
4/5, they finally "explained" why there are only a certain age-range of females that are contracted, apparently the bonding method only works for them and no one has bothered to try and expand the restraint. Corpse Princesses only exist because of this limited ability made long time ago, otherwise, all corpses are "evil".
